The HydraQuiver Single Barrel: Ideal running distances up to a marathon.

I love carrying my own nutrition in the single barrel HydraQuiver. I raced the run of a 70.3 with it for the first time and loved not stopping at any water stations. I could not even tell I had it on. Managed to podium and score a slot to Worlds 2020!

I’ve used bladder and flask hydration systems prior to the Single Barrel. I wasn’t satisfied with either type. I worried about keeping the bladder properly cleaned and the flask system’s vest felt too constructive across my chest when it was properly tightened. The HydraQuiver was comfortable from the start. With no chest strap, I feel less “confined”. It’s very light, even with a full bottle. I worried about reaching the bottle during a run, but it is easy to access. I like that it’s small and sits at my shoulders and doesn’t go halfway down my back. Overall, the hydraquiver is perfect.

As the temperature are rising during the summer months, I find it difficult to run long distances without water. I purchased this vest, and it works like a charm. I can put my phone and keys in it so when I run away from the house, I don’t have to worry my phone being stolen out of my car, AND I will have my phone with me in case I need to make a call. Surprisingly enough, the straps do not rub on my skin/arms. The vest is comfortable and not heavy!

This is the 3rd one I've purchased. Highly recommend. Great quality.

I've had the HydraQuiver Double Barrel for a couple of years and love it! I bought my husband the Single Barrel recently, as I've gotten tired of watching him fiddle with a waist-pack hydration belt when running or skiing. He used the Single Barrel for a half marathon this past weekend and I think he's sold--loves the velcro pockets on the shoulders for easy access to energy gels / chews, and said he doesn't notice the pack at all after about the first mile. No bouncing and no readjustments needed. I need to have him watch your videos about getting in & out of the pack, though. His shoulders aren't super flexible so sometimes he's flailing around to get it on. If he'd watch the video about how to put the pack on and then readjust it, he'd be better off. LOL!
